Banana Oat Crepes Gluten Free Food

BANANA OAT CREPES (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth and let stand in fridge for 15 minutes.
• Heat a greased skillet on medium heat and pour 1/3 cup batches on the pan, swirling it very quickly to distribute the batter.
• Cook until the bottom starts to turn golden and it is easily flippable, then flip and cook other side until done to your preference. Garnish with maple syrup, chocolate sauce, berries, jam or mashed bananas as filling and topping.
• ****You can make your own with a blender, using about 1 1/2 cups quick oats to make 1 cup oat flour. If you`re going to leave your crepe mixture in the fridge for quite a while it will thicken so just add water to the desired consistency. If you`re going to blend it, do so just for a second and let the mixture rest a couple of minutes before cooking them or else you may end up with airey crepes.

GLUTEN-FREE BANANA OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment baking cups.
• Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
• Beat egg lightly in a large bowl. Stir in milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Add mashed banana and combine thoroughly. Stir flour mixture into the banana mixture until just combined. Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.

BANANA CREPES

Steps:

• Place ingredients in blender or food processor container in the order listed.
• Cover and blend on high 20 to 30 seconds. Scrape sides of container. Blend a few more seconds.
• PAN PREPARATION: If using a non-stick spray shortening, spray pan before heating. Before cooking the first crepe put 1/2 teaspoons butter into pan. If the pan is well seasoned it should not be necessary to add more butter for each crepe.
• PAN TEMPERATURE: Crepe pan is at the correct temperature when the batter sizzles slightly when poured into the pan, and a crepe will cook on one side in approximately 1 minute. (On my stovetop I set to medium-low). Crepes should be pale in color, not dark brown.
• TO COOK CREPES: Two or three tablespoons of batter is usually enough to cover the bottom of a 6 to 7 inch crepe pan. ( I use a 10 inch pan with scant 1/4 cup batter). If necessary adjust the amount needed for the pan you are using.
• Pour in the batter and quickly tilt the pan so the batter covers the bottom entirely. If you put in more than just a thin coating, pour the excess back into the bowl. This will leave a small flap on the crepe but it won't be noticed when the crepe is filled and folded. (Caution: If crepe pan is not hot enough, the whole crepe may fall back into the batter when you pour out the excess. It is important to have the pan at the correct temperature before starting to cook.).
• WHEN TO TURN: The crepe is ready to turn when it begins to set and crisp around the edges. Loosen around the edge with a long thin spatula or knife so you have a starting place to pick up the crepe with your fingers (or the spatula) then simply flip it over. Should it start to tear when picked up, it may not be cooked enough to turn. Cook a few seconds longer and try again.
• Crepe is ready when the second side is set (not wet).
• IF PAN STICKS IN ONE SPOT: Put more butter or oil in the pan and wipe with a paper towel. Once a crepe pan is seasoned, it should not be necessary to add more butter or oil for each crepe. It may be necessary to discard the first crepe or two until the pan is properly seasoned and the temperature is right.
• AFTER THE CREPES ARE COOKED: Stack cooked crepes on a plate. They will be easier to separate if they are not placed squarely on top of each other. It is not necessary to put foil or waxed paper between each crepe.
• PRESENTATION: Crepes can be filled and rolled or folded into quarters.

OAT FLOUR CREPES

Steps:

• Grind oats into a flour consistency using a food processor.
• Add egg and almond milk. Blend.

• Carefully flip the crepe to cook the other side.
